Greek version

After completing her studies at Versailles School of Architecture, Annes Démians opened her first agency in 1995 and in 2003 she found the new architectural office under the name "AAD Architectures Annes Démians". Her motto is "availability as attitude, diversity as objective", she casts an appraising eye on each of her works to ensure they form a coherent whole. The agency has won several competitions since 2004, including a freight station at Orly, the central schools' kitchen in Paris' 20^th arrondissement, several house projects, the law courts in Douai and the rebuilding of the hotel and tourism high school at Guyancourt.

Annes Démians also contributes to several working groups and in 2008, following a request from the city of Paris, she took part in a workshop on the height of buildings in the city (mostly in the Masséna-Brunesseau district). She is a member of the commission formed by the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development, Transport and Housing to examine how the 2012 thermal regulations (RT 2012) can be revised and improved in preparation for the next set of regulations (RT 2020). In 2009 she won the first edition of EDF's BAS CARBONE competition for buildings with low carbon emissions and consequently sat as president of the jury for the 2010 session.

Since 1998 Annes Démians has taught architecture at Brattany National College of Architecture, Paris Special Architecture School, Paris Dauphine University and Berlin's Institut für Architektür.

The Galerie d'Architectur has decided to showcase her work at a critical time in her soaring career, focusing on four projects that illustrate the world of Annes Démians: the central schools' kitchen in Paris' 20^th arrondissement, the île de Corse development in Nancy- a project consisting of 354 apartments, business premises, a crèche-, a parking lot at Auteuil station in Paris and Société Générale's Campus at Val-de-Fontenay.
